I haven't had TV here for over 10 yrs (DO have a video collection of nearly 500 classics and 5.1 surround sound however). My GF recently stated she would pay for the Dish so she could watch her "Cop Shows", so... . I really like ALL the different music channels available (no commercials), especially "8 Track", "Rock Classics" and sometimes "Honky Tonk Tavern", they all sound great on my Surround system. The "Military Channel" is cool, but TOO repitious. The Gang and Prison shows are interesting. TOO MANY commercials !! Back in "the day" cable never had commercials, WTF. "Sons Of Guns" is better than "American Idol" or ......, but similar as far as Mission Statement is defined for the mentality targeted. YMMV Joe
